Charles Hayward (drums, percussion and melodica), Han-earl Park (guitar), Ian Smith (trumpet and flugelhorn), Lol Coxhill (saxophone) tracks 6 and 7. Mathilde 253 is the real-time musical meeting between legendary avant-rock drummer Charles Hayward (This Heat, Massacre), “careful and crafty” guitarist Han-earl Park (Paul Dunmall, Kato Hideki), and mainstay of the London improvised music scene Ian Smith (Derek Bailey, London Improvisers’ Orchestra). Mathilde 253 was born out of an opportunity to explore the spontaneous mashup of avant-rock, African-American creative musics, European free improvisation and noise. Joined by the veteran iconoclastic saxophonist Lol Coxhill, this recording documents the weaving of physical virtuosity and humorous sound poetics, a patchwork of restraint, subtlety and recklessness.
Recorded live at Cafe OTO, London on April 18 2010. Recorded and mixed by Chris Trent. Mastered by Han-earl Park.
Design and artwork by Han-earl Park. Photographs by Seán Kelly.
Thanks to Hamish Dunbar and Keiko Yamamoto at Cafe OTO, Chris Trent, Alex Fiennes, Kato Hideki, Han-ter Park, Melanie L Marshall and Jeffrey Weeter.
All music by Charles Hayward, Han-earl Park and Ian Smith, except tracks 6–7 by Lol Coxhill, Charles Hayward, Han-earl Park and Ian Smith.

I’m very happy and honored to be featured as Download of the Day at All About Jazz. ‘Chorale’ by Franziska Schroeder and myself is All About Jazz’ featured download for today! (Although mistakenly attributed to another recording by Paul Dunmall and myself; sorry Franziska.) [Download the rest of the performance…]
Bruce Lee Gallanter (Downtown Music Gallery) takes some time to say some nice things about ‘Boolean Transforms’ by Paul Dunmall and myself [more info on this recording…].
The intensity & close-knit interaction has increased to a near boil, simmering hotter and hotter…. [The] more I hear the more the sympathetic counter-balance comes closer and even more spirited.
Which means, in part, that you can get your copy from Downtown Music Gallery in addition to Mind Your Own Music and here.
Update: This recording has been rereleased! The new edition adds liner notes by Áine Sheil, and the option to download the recording in multiple formats including lossless. [Listen, download and more…]
The complete recording of the March 26, 2009 performance by Franziska Schroeder and myself is now available for download below.
I’m very happy to finally make these available. In many respects, all my playing subsequent to this duet has been in response to, and a follow-up on, the implications of this performance. Big thanks to Franziska for sharing the journey on this one.

I just did a short spot on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland. Plugged the Human-Machine Improvisations (Cork, 2010) gig, and they also played a snippet of Bruce Coates with io 0.0.1 beta++ (audio recording below). I wonder how often improvised music gets on the national news 😉
